Day 1 was perfect. Easy crossing. Lovely campsite. Swim and good company. We met a French couple. He is a professional guitarist and played fro us in the evening.
Day 2
Disaster! We hit a gatepost as we were leaving the campsite and took a whole window out of the caravan! We are now stranded in the middle of nowhere. It is a public holiday in France so no chance of any repairs today.
Still, weather is good, we have food and wine, We will survive but some plans are having to change.
Day 1 was perfect. Calm crossing. Easy to find campsite. We met a French professiousician who played hie guitar for us whle we chatted over wine and coffee.
